LOL<BR/><BR/>I can really attest to the comment! Years ago when I got saved, at the time I was smoking alot. I started smoking tobacco since I was 15 years of age. When I got saved I was smoking 2 1/2 packs a day. I remember I would put my packs under my car seat or in my console when I went to church so no one would no that I smoked at church.<BR/><BR/>One time I remember I went out with this girl after church. I mistakenly opened up my console and out poped my stash. That was the last date with that girl. Even though I could over look her having a kid she could not overlook me have smoking...(I thought that was a bit odd), But I remembered how embarised I was to have someone find out my dirty little secret. I was always hiding those things...that is till my Lord took them from my lips.<BR/><BR/>We should always be ready for the Lord to come. One of the things I thought was so interesting about the bride of Christ study...is that when the groom left the bride would alway have to have her stuff packed up ready because at any time her husband could come at any moment!...Our Lord is comming agian and we who are the Bride of Christ should make our self ready for the Lords Return!!Colvin5776https://www.blogger.com/profile/01985635228124996344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640018890482570635.post-40579702576411074472009-01-19T09:05:00.000-08:002009-01-19T09:05:00.000-08:00A brother sent this comment to me via e-mail.

As you talk about the home and how we clean it up when someone comes over or how we shut certain doors when someone unexpectingly drops by I began to think about our body as a home. A home has many doors that lead to rooms and as that is our body (our life) has doors that lead to certain things (rooms) some good and some bad. When we go to church or are around other Christian people we do tend to start closing doors and hiding the things that are behind them if they are not cleaned up. Maybe over the door reads lust, adultery, alcoholism, drugs, pornography, jealousy so when we know we are going to be around Christians we hurry and close those doors so no one can see what's behind those doors. We keep open all the doors that have something good in them. So as you were saying we need to do some house cleaning within our own lives. Preaching to myself here but we do need to hide the word in our hearts we need it to clean up those rooms of sin so we can have them open at all times. The word will begin to eat away at those sins that are behind the doors that no one knows about and finally if we keep the word ongoing in our lives and believe it it will finally destroy those sins until they are no more. Then as a clean house should be there will be a smell of such refreshing fragrance and a look that anyone can tell has to be from the Lord.Nathan Wilkersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11255316734700179686noreply@blogger.com
